The government said five people who breached the new compulsory quarantine measures - including two who removed or cut off electronic wristbands - have been detained and sent to quarantine centres and police are looking for 36 people who left their homes without permission.

In a statement, the government condemned the breaches of quarantine, saying these actions increased the risk of community transmission and would hurt the health of others.

It urged members of the public to report any breaches of quarantine.

It said offenders face a maximum prison term of six months and a HK$25,000 fine.
